Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Internal complaint reference: (b)(4).The reported device, used in treatment, was not returned to the designated complaint unit for independent evaluation, thus visual inspection and functional testing could not be performed.A review of the device history records showed there were no indications to suggest that the product did not meet manufacturing specification or would not be able to perform as intended.A complaint history review concluded this was an isolated event.A review of the instructions for use found: read these instructions completely prior to use.Incomplete anchor insertion may result in poor anchor performance.Breakage of suture anchor can occur if predrilling is not performed prior to implantation.Use of excessive force during insertion can cause failure of the suture anchor or insertion device.A two-finger ao technique should be used to insert the anchor.A review of risk management files found that the reported failure was documented appropriately.A relationship, if any, between the subject device and the reported event could not be determined.Please refer to the instructions for use for recommendations on proper use of the device and potential troubleshooting methods to prevent future reoccurrence of the reported event.If the product associated with this event is returned at a future date, this evaluation will be reopened for investigation.
